Introduction
experiment, you can see that after we finished synthesise the solution,
you can notice that the end product was changed the formed and also be
to determine the molecular geometry and how of the each molecule react
show the changing of product after reaction being the result. Chemical
written in formed of
place when cations and anions in aqueous solution combine together and
3
separated and become in solid formed or which you cans see in form of
natural ways and artificial ways. Example of natural ways are formation
the experiment, you will see the process of synthesis, precipitation and
crystallisation.
Experiment
Materials
I2 Rubber pipette & 95% Ethanol Beaker

Experiment methods
2.Add 0.6 g of Iodine and 12 mL of Ethanol in the beaker and mix them.
3. Heat the beaker in the hot plate, inside the fume hood, for 10 minutes at low temperature.
4. Take the beaker out of fume hood, allow cooling at room temperature
7.Wash the substances in beaker with hexane twice using Vacuum filtration

8. Let the product goes through Air-dry. Meanwhile, clean up the lab apparatus.
9. Labelled the name of members in group and the name of compound then leave it overnight
at fume hood.
10. Weight the product and hand in the sample in capped vial to the lab instructor.

Physically, the crystal mostly has purple color mixes with green color. It has tiny and
sharp shape. In chemical properties, it has 73.46% yield. The limiting agent is Iodine. Balance
chemical equation is Me4N+I- + I2 Me4N+I-3. In this experiment, we also did some error like
in suction part, before we did this part, there was tetramethylammonia pentaiodide stuck around
Conclusion
In conclusion, we learned about crystallization and precipitation from this experiment.
After we removed the tetramethylammonium triiodide from the heat and allow the beaker to cool
down, the crystals would form during the time. We used vacuum filtration for suction filtration
and collect crystals, this process called precipitation, which able us to see the crystals more
clearly.Also, if we have to do this experiment again, we will do the suction filtration part more
